Can't benchmark Steam games: "Parameter 1 to graphics_event_checker::__post_test"

[hax0r]

I'm having trouble benchmarking Mad Max and Rise of the Tomb Raider:

Mad Max starts up and briefly exits white being on loading screen:

phoronix-test-suite run pts/madmax


Mad Max:
    pts/madmax-1.2.1
    Graphics Test Configuration
        1:  800 x 600
        2:  1024 x 768
        3:  1280 x 800
        4:  1280 x 1024
        5:  1600 x 900
        6:  1400 x 1050
        7:  1680 x 1050
        8:  1600 x 1200
        9:  1920 x 1080
        10: 1920 x 1200
        11: 2560 x 1440
        12: Test All Options
        Resolution: 11

        3: High
        4: Test All Options
        Graphics Preset: 3


        1: Vulkan
        2: OpenGL
        3: Test All Options
        Renderer: 1

    Would you like to save these test results (Y/n): n


Mad Max:
    pts/madmax-1.2.1 [Resolution: 2560 x 1440 - Graphics Preset: High - Renderer: Vulkan]
    Test 1 of 1
    Estimated Trial Run Count:    1
    Estimated Time To Completion: 6 Minutes
        Running Pre-Test Script @ 04:10:49
        Started Run 1 @ 04:10:54
        The test run did not produce a result.

    Test Results:

    Average: 0 Frames Per Second
    This test failed to run properly.

[NOTICE] Parameter 1 to graphics_event_checker::__post_test_run() expected to be a reference, value given in pts_module_manager:74


The following tests failed to properly run:

    - pts/madmax-1.2.1: Resolution: 2560 x 1440 - Graphics Preset: High - Renderer: Vulkan

Rise of the Tomb Raider cannot start:

phoronix-test-suite run pts/riseofthetombraider
        The test executable for pts/riseofthetombraider-1.0.1 could not be located.

I tried this on 17.10 and Phoronix Test Suite v5.2.1 (Khanino). Anybody knows what's wrong? Is the problem caused by "[NOTICE] Parameter 1 to graphics_event_checker::__post_test_run() expected to be a reference, value given in pts_module_manager:74" ?

PTS 5.2.1 is years outdated.... I assume you must have got it out of the outdated Ubuntu repos. So first of all, try grabbing the latest release (PTS 7.8) and trying to see if you still have issues.

Thanks Michael, I grabbed phoronix-test-suite_7.8.0_all.deb and it is working perfectly.
